Twin Planets

Larry, the man who terraformed Mars, has a scar over his left eye.

Maggie, his younger sister, could not make up her mind.

Her brother was a Star Man. She was left behind.

Maggie swam in the ocean

Larry paid a fine.

 

Maggie liked tequila

Larry was back on Earth.

He liked snorting space rocks

By the basement furnace hearth.

 

Larry got a parking ticket

Maggie passed out in the sand

She did not feel a single thing

When she was ****** there by a man.

 

The baby was coming in April and

Maggie went to the clinic

Larry thought about Venereal tides

While he was out having a picnic.

 

Larry, the man who terraformed Mars, has a scar over his left eye.

Maggie, his younger sister, could not make up her mind.

Her brother was a Star Man. She was left behind.

Maggie swam in the ocean

Larry paid a fine.

 

Maggie is now a single mother

In the house with a furnace hearth.

 

Larry never came back down

The last time he left Earth.
